Stripe advice please

I have an opportunity to get some custom designed stripes for my car and I would like some help. I want something that pops without being over the top (flames and such are a bit much for me). Can you all post some pics of the best stripes you have ever seen? I have factory black stripes and even though they arent bad, they arent anything to be raving over either. So folks, give me some ideas for a direction to go on my Pepper White Cabrio.

with pepper white, and a black roof, black stripes are the way to go, but something to set the edges off would be nice. A small pin stripe on the sides of each stripe might give it a little edge, without being distracting.

something like this....albeit computer keyboard generated The base strip in the middle, with 2 thinner stripes on the outside of each side, does that make sense?

have that on each side of the hood, either in the fashion you have now, or have Viper Stripes, 2 larger stripes down the middle, with pepper white stripes to match on the roof (even the smaller section of a cabrio)

Here is a picture of the stripe I am talking about, but double stripes, not just one down the middle, and thinner overall of course Just using that for a reference, but try to imagine your existing stripes with the pin stripes on the sides like in this shot...or a double viper stripe instead of one single racing stripe.

How about cobra stripes...my brother just did this to his solstice.





I would think that these would look just as good on the MINI.
